Farmina Vet Life offers specialized therapeutic diets designed to manage feline urinary conditions, primarily focusing on struvite stones and lower urinary tract diseases. These are veterinary-prescribed diets that should only be used under the guidance of a professional.
Vet Life Urinary Diet Options
Farmina provides two main formulations for urinary care, available in both dry and wet forms:
- Vet Life Struvite (Dissolution):
- Purpose: Formulated to dissolve existing struvite-based stones and manage feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD).
- How it works: It uses urine acidifying substances (like DL-methionine and calcium sulfate) to create an acidic urinary pH, which helps break down crystals.
- Nutritional Profile: Features low concentrations of protein, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium to minimize the building blocks of stones.
- Vet Life Struvite Management (Prevention):
- Purpose: Indicated for reducing the recurrence of struvite uroliths and managing idiopathic cystitis.
- Format: Typically used for long-term management after initial stones have been dissolved.
Usage Guidelines
- Duration: Dissolution of stones usually takes 5 to 12 weeks, while prevention of recurrence may be recommended for up to 6 months.
- Hydration: Always provide fresh water to encourage dilution of urine.
- Transition: Introduce the new diet slowly by mixing it with previous food over several days to avoid digestive upset.
